CtrlArt - JCC Slovenia- Augmented reality experience Traditional candle lighting - CtrlArt

For the European Day of Jewish Culture we created an Augmented Reality rendition of a traditional 19th century 'lighting of the Shabbat candle' ritual. Using an almost life-like character (based on Frida Finkelstein from 19th century Poland) and realistic looking props we were able to recreate this quintessential Jewish tradition in an immersive and historically accurate way. The 3d printed candle holders functioned as triggers for the whole AR-driven cultural heritage experience to unfold. Visitors of the Jewish Cultural Center in Ljubljana were amazed by the high levels of realism and the full 360 AR experience.
